Last week our friend and colleague, Paramedic Mike Glazier, and his family were on vacation in Florida when Mike's son, JD, entered hospice care. It is with profound sadness that we now share that JD has since passed away. They are far from home, their support system, and the comfort of familiar surroundings. Our hearts are with Mike and his entire family as they navigate this unimaginable loss. While no words can ease the pain of losing a child, we hope our community can continue to surround them with the compassion and support they so deeply deserve.
Throughout this journey, the Glazier family will face significant medical expenses, extended travel and lodging costs while in Florida, and now the additional financial burdens that come with bringing JD home and handling final arrangements. During a time when their focus should be on grieving and healing, these unexpected expenses only add to an already overwhelming situation.
We are asking our community to continue standing with Mike and his family by supporting their GoFundMe fundraiser. Every donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward helping ease these financial burdens, allowing the Glazier family to focus on one another in the difficult days ahead.
If you're unable to donate, you can still make a meaningful difference by sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family, and social networks. Every share helps extend its reach and reminds Mike and his family that they are not alone.
Thank you to everyone who has already donated, shared, prayed, and reached out with words of comfort. Your kindness has meant more than words can express.
Please continue to keep Mike, his family, and all who loved JD in your thoughts and prayers. As an ambulance family, we are committed to supporting one of our own through this heartbreaking time. π
